Murena

A sweeping historical epic from Point Image, Murena launched in 2001 and immerses readers in the brutal, decadent world of ancient Rome, focusing on the reign of Emperor Nero. The series is most associated with its co-creators, writer Jean Dufaux and artist Philippe Delaby, whose lush, detailed artwork brings the period's political intrigue and visceral violence to life. Though only one issue has been released so far, its ambition to chronicle the rise and fall of one of history's most infamous figures through a blend of fact and fiction marks it as a notable entry in the historical comic genre.
